Ladder angled for comfort and convenience

It seems that the ladder has been angled to let the passengers step directly onto the asphalt and keep their shoes clean. If it was steeper, it would require walking in mud. Which would be messy and inconvenient when disembarking from an aircraft that has run off the side of a runway. Creative customer service!!
